Speakers List being attached as Appendix 1 to these Minutes

Item 1 Freshford Mill, Rosemary Lane, Freshford,
Bathavon South - The Officers gave a presentation about this site and
explained the reasons for their recommendation to authorise the Head of
Planning Services to Permit, subject to the First Secretary of State not
wishing to determine the application, the change of use together with
alterations to provide 21 no. residential units, provision of improved
access, landscaping, parking and associated demolition.

Some Members of the Committee were concerned that,
if this application is to be approved, it would increase the traffic in
Rosemary Lane.

Following the debate between Members of the
Committee, it was moved by Councillor Vic Pritchard, seconded by
Councillor Bryan Organ, to support the Officers' recommendation as set
out in the Main and Update Reports. Voting: 5 in favour and 3 against
with 2 abstentions. Motion carried.

(Note: Prior to this decision, it was moved by
Councillor Gitte Dawson and seconded by Councillor Carol Paradise to
overturn the Officers' recommendation to permit and instead refuse this
application. Voting: 5 in favour and 5 against. Motion not carried).
